Really surprised to see this on hacker news, I would've thought it too piddly to warrant a thread here. Anyway, long time customer and was generally satisfied with the service. I just used it for my low maintenance low traffic wp blog. Got an email yesterday from them with the same message.

Think I still had like 6 bucks in my account with them, but frankly, who gives a shit. The cheapness of the service was baked in such that eating a couple of bucks doesn't really matter. We had a good run of 4-5 years. Sad to see them go though.

Long time customer as well and found out about this here on HN. I had $4 or $5 left as well but I guess it’s gone. My site is still up for the moment so if I care to save it I’ll move it.

Might just be the end of the road for that site as I’m not about to spend more than $12/year to keep it going.

I used wget to render my old MediaWiki setup into a static site, and then threw it on vercel.

If you don't want to maintain a legacy app liable to be compromised, going static using wget + a few scripts is a lovely trick.

No maintenance, no pain, and free hosting :)

I personally doubt static websites will go out of fashion anytime soon.

Jekyl and Gatsby are pretty amazing. Got involved in a project at work that uses Gatsby underneath and once you get used to all the node.js/dependency BS it's actually fun.
